The Council on Teaching is seeking applications for the Fall 2023 Teaching in Higher Education Conference Award.

This award supports faculty (clinical, tenure-track/tenured, and instructional track) and P&S staff who plan to attend a conference related to teaching in their discipline or in higher education in general (i.e., curriculum design, course design and delivery, pedagogical good practice, or assessment of learning) and apply this new information to enhance teaching effectiveness at the University of Iowa.

Preference will be given to applicants who have been invited or approved to present at a national conference. Such presentations could include workshops, keynote addresses, seminars, demonstrations, posters, and simulations.

A maximum of $1,500 may be awarded per applicant and must be applied to the cost of travel, hotel, or conference registration (in-person or virtual). Please note that this award will not apply to research-focused conferences or annual meetings, even if that information is incorporated into a faculty member's teaching.

Applications are due by August 28, 2023 for conferences occurring between September 2023 and December 2023.
